[TriLUG] Jabber usernames

[Joel Ebel]

Well, on IRC it presumes you are already in the same channel as someone. 
  If on jabber, you were both in a MUC room, you could send a message to 
them privately without getting their JID.  You can also privately send 
someone your jid through MUC if you want them to know who you really are.

Also, there is a jabber user directory.  This is voluntary to register 
with, but if you want to facilitate people finding you, register with 
the JUD.
